Im biased. Good buy for your 1.1 or 1.0
Any track/fast road use get the better group N set.

To be fair, they look pretty much the same to me.
But being sold by constella, they'll now explain the differences.

i know they arent the same in strength as i have tested them. Thus the budget ones are designed for standard 1.0/1.1 cars
The Group N feature an uprated body as well as ends, the budgets just have uprated ends.

They are better than standard, but still only a budget item.
And we test them untill we can get them to break lol (basically attach them to my car and send rob off out in it for a bit lol)

That looks like paintet threaded rod or som rubber on-top?
I made my own from threaded rods, looks exactly like these, as threaded rod are pretty easy to bend, they are not that strong, if you shift fast or press in the gears, they could bent easily.
But as my original where havin play and where very loose i made these.
Cost me about 70-80SEK ( about 5-7£)
